ARTIST STATEMENT

Deaf Safari is an audio collage of subjects that interest me and speak of the world I live in.
It is an album composed of sampled recordings from the media landscape that has been the soundtrack to my life over the last ten years.

The most important development in my current music and as can be heard on Deaf Safari has been my understanding of the beauty and power of the spoken word. I have experienced severe indifference to contemporary pop and electronic music as a whole over the last many years, as I have felt that social comment of any relevance has been ignored by music in general.
Deaf Safari attempts to bring sociopolitical comment into my music without taking any specific stand.
Sampled outside of musical influence directly from the news; from preacher sermons or from contemporary African documentaries.
I have finally created a story with sound that I feel accurately conveys my personal experience with the African world I live in.

My musical influences on this album lie mostly with local Kwaito house. Deaf Safari is an experiment within certain boundaries of the 4/4 genre, to create my own South African "house" album.
I am proud and inspired about the South African Kwaito house scene.
However, as with my first three albums, "Thin Shoes In June“ (2001) - "4/4 Down The Stairs“ (2002) and "Dark Days Exit“ (2005), I am still interested in making strange and evocative music.

American Roots music from the earlier periods of the 20th century has deeply resonated with me during the making of this album.
The incredible field recordings by Alan Lomax of Negro prison and chain gang work songs, and the
beautiful early recordings of artists such as Leadbelly have had a major influence on Deaf Safari.

I am truly excited to release this album and to start performing in the music world again. It has been ten years since I released "Dark Days Exit , and although I have been purposefully absent from the music world, I have none the less never stopped making music.
I feel that I have finally arrived at a mature and challenging stage in my pursuit of making emotional music of relevance .

After an absence of two years, Leng are very happy to welcome back bass-wielding producer Fernanado Pulichino. The Natural 77 EP sees the experienced Argentine deliver another trio of tracks underpinned by his trademark warm, funk-fuelled basslines.
 
Fernando has packed a lot into his career since debuting with regular production partner Julian Sanza at turn of the millennium. Before the duo decided to go their separate ways, they delivered a string of fine deep house EPs as Cuidad Feliz, a fine debut album for Silver City, and formed part of Ralph Lawson’s touring live act, 20:20 Soundsystem. As a solo artist, Fernando released his debut album on Bear Funk back in 2013, and has more recently dropped singles on Cynic, Tusba and Futureboogie Recordings.
 
Given this vast experience, it’s no surprise to find that his third outing on Leng is an assured and varied affair. Opener “Backwards” sees Fernando strutting his electrofunk stuff, adding hazy guitar solos, spacey electronics and dubbed-out synth riffs to a rolling, boogie-propelled groove.
 
He channels the spirit of West Coast funkateers Steely Dan on title track “Natural 77”, expertly combining a rubbery bass guitar riff with sun-kissed guitar solos, freestyle vocal improvisations and a fluid, bongo-laden drum break. It’s a lazy, low-slung affair, but one guaranteed to incite excitable shuffling out on the dancefloor.
 
Finally, Fernando heads back towards Balearic disco pastures with the rich and evocative “Attic Party”. Delay-laden electric piano stabs, jammed-out bass and flanged, funk-fuelled guitar lines weave in and out of a mix dominated by trippy synthesizer motifs and deliciously glassy-eyed solos. You won’t know whether to wearily dance or lie down; either way, you’ll be escorted to another dimension by the Argentine’s gently mind-altering grooves.

Info:
Being socialised by a bunch of Westphalian music enthusiasts of the late 90s, Philipp Fein commenced his musical career making himself a name as a respected Hip Hop DJ, only to end up realising that his true dedication would be electronic music. All these eclectic influences can be heard in his music, be it in his unpredictable vinyl- heavy DJ sets, his original productions and remix works (for example with Johannes Klingebiel as “106er”) or as co-founder, booker and resident of “Feines Tier”, one of Cologne’s favourite electronic music happenings. In late 2015 he opened the temporary space called „Jackwho“ in Cologne together with a bunch of friends. He has his residency in Cologne at well known Gewölbe and plays Berlin clubs like Kater Blau or Sisypos on a regular basis. Besides that he’s used the better amount of his recent leisure time to bring his bee keeping skills to perfection.
